Dear ex-husband,
Let’s start from the beginning, shall we? So it was an arranged setup. Like half of the marriages in India, where a guy says yes and a women’s opinion doesn’t really matter. But in our case, they did ask for my opinion. And like any other Indian women, I said yes, for my parents. They did everything for me. And they deserved this. Like all their daughters, they do wanted me to be happy. They thought when I get married, maybe I will be happy too. But a happy marriage is a huge scam, as we both know that now. But at that time, like every other girl out there, I too thought that marriage was everything and the answer to a perfect life. The thought of having a perfect partner, a companion, to spend my whole life with was an exciting and, at the same time, a wonderful feeling. And to be honest, I was happy with my decision to get married. And then I met you. My first thought was ‘wow, he’s hot.’ and I am going to be blunt about myself,I am not hot, maybe cute. But you were hot. And in front of you, maybe I was not so good looking, which always affected me. Most of the time during our courtship period or after we got married, I kept asking myself this particular question ‘why you chose me?’ over and over again. Because let’s agree to one thing, in this society, people DO and WILL judge you on your looks. And in an arranged setup, we do get judged on our looks only. Because for everything else, you need to spend time with them to know them. And you were everything a girl wants, i.e, tall, fair and handsome. A perfect example of that. But me on the other side: short, chubby and well, adorable. But you chose me. Why? That question haunted me for so long. And now that I have the answer to that, it hurts. It feels like i will break into million tiny pieces.
